Chapter Four:
The Z Senshi finally returned from X-tream Inventions, where Eyea hoped they had destroyed Manotia and the Shadow Ninjas. They had been gone for over an hour, but when they landed in front of Eyea and Bulma there was hardly a scratch on them. Eyea ran over to Gohan. He wrapped his arms around her and held her close to him.
"It's all over now. They Shadow Ninjas where defeated." he whispered in her ear.
"Thank you" The other Z Senshi were watching the couple. Bulma walked over to Vegeta, who also hugged her. He had been worried about her. The Shadow Ninjas would probably never had taken her if they hadn't known that she was Vegeta's wife. Gohan picked up Eyea.
"We're going home." he took off into the air and flew to the home he shared with Eyea.
"I think we'd all better get home." Piccolo suggested. They all went their separate ways to head for their homes.
"Vegeta…are they gone for good?" Bulma asked.
"Yes. Now maybe we can get a bit of peace in the world for now."

Five months later…
"Are you okay?" Gohan asked his wife.
"I'm a Saiyan…I'll be fine." Eyea was holding her daughter in her arms, "do you want to hold her?" she asked Gohan as she handed Eliha to him. Gohan gasped as his daughter's tail wrapped around his arm.
"So…you have a tail too." he looked at his wife.
"I don't want to have it removed, it's her heritage." Eyea said.
"I understand." Just then a doctor entered the room.
"So…how are you doing?" he asked Eyea, who was once again holding Eliha.
"I'm fine. When can I go home?"
"Not until you recover."
"She's coming home now. She is well enough." Gohan said through gritted teeth. He did not want Eyea away from home any more.
"I must not let her leave. She is not recovered from the birth…she is still weak."
"I' am not weak." it was Eyea's turn to speak. Gohan just picked her up, making sure she had a firm grip on the baby, opened the window and jumped up. People who had been sitting at their hospital windows gaped at the sight of a man jumping out of a 13th floor window with a woman and child. He immediately headed for his home.

Eyea was standing over her daughter's crib. Eliha was fast asleep.
"She has her mother's eyes." Gohan said as he walked into the room. Eyea turned and smiled. For once in her life, she was truly happy.
"She has her father's strength. Gohan…you seem worried." Eyea said as she saw the sadness in his eyes.
"I just don't know how long our peace can last. I mean…" Eyea walked up to him.
"As long as we have some peace, we'll always have it, even if it's just in our memories." she said. Gohan wrapped his arms around her and smiled.
"I love you."
"I love you too Gohan." They stood there for a few moments until the phone rang. Hoping it would not wake the sleeping child Eyea ran to answer it.
"Hello?" she said into the receiver.
"Eyea…you're home. I thought you'd still be in the hospital. But then I guess being a Saiyan has it's advantages. I was calling to invite you and Gohan to a reunion at Master Roachie's tomorrow. Are you feeling up to it?" Bulma asked from the other end of the phone line.
"Hold on…Gohan?" Gohan walked out of the baby's room carrying Eliha who had awakened.
"Bulma wants us to go to a reunion at Master Roachie's tomorrow. Want to go?"
"Sure…you're obviously up to it." Gohan said.
"Sure Bulma. We'll be there, you can meet Eliha. See ya. Bye."
"Bye."
"And I bet you're hungry, aren't you?" Eyea said taking Eliha in her own arms. She walked over to the counter and picked up her bottle.
"She's definitely a Saiyan…she's got an appetite like you." Gohan said.
"Hey watch it mister, or you'll be sleeping on the couch." She teased.
"I believe you…" Gohan laughed.

The next day…
"Gohan! Eyea!" Bulma ran out of Master Roachie's house to great them. Eyea was holding Eliha, she had loved the fly over and was motioning for her daddy to take her up in the air again. She was only a few days old but very bright.
"Hi Bulma." Gohan said.
"This must be Eliha. She's so sweet. Huh? She's got a tail?" Bulma said in shock.
"Stupid woman…look who its parents are. The brat's ¾ Saiyan." Vegeta said in a mocking tone. They all knew he was joking. Eyea handed the child to Bulma. Eliha grabbed Bulma's blue hair and held it to her own.
"Ha! For a kid who's only a week old, she sure is a smart one." Bulma laughed. The rest of the Z Senshi had arrived.
"Hi Chichi. Goku. Goten." Eyea said.
"Mom, Dad." Gohan said, Chichi gave Gohan a big hug. Miari Trunks walked out of the house with Master Roachie and Chibi Trunks.
"Miari Trunks. Chibi Trunks." Eyea got a hug from both of them.
"What's wrong. You look so sad. You know something is going to happen to me don't you?" Miari Trunks nodded. He promised he would tell her later. They were all sitting out side looking up at the stars, when Miari Trunks pulled her away from the rest of the Z Senshi.
"Aunt Eyea-Son…in six years a warrior named Chikonan will try to kill you or turn you against the Z Senshi. If he manages to turn you against them…" he said.
"Listen…I know you're worried about me. But I'm a Saiyan. I've lived through worse than just a simple attack, trust me." she said as she hugged her nephew. They walked back to the group, Eilha was starting to get tired and was falling asleep in her uncle's arms. Goku handed Eliha back to Eyea when she walked up to him.
"Gohan…we should get home." she said looking at her daughter. She had never dreamed that feeling again could be so…right. Gohan agreed with her and they said their good-byes and took off towards home.
"I've never seen her so happy." Vegeta said when his sister was out of sight.
"That's cause she's in love." Bulma said as she hugged him. Vegeta could think of a few things they could do when he and his wife got home.
The next day…
"Eyea we've got some problems…" Gohan said running into their little house.
"Gohan? What is it? What's wrong?" Eyea said when he came running in.
"Garlic Jr. He's back…and he's taken over Kame's lookout." Gohan said. Eyea picked up Eliha.
"I'm going to take her to your mother's I'll be at the tower as soon as I can." Eyea said as she took to the air. ~ can there be no peace on this world? ~ she asked herself as she touched down at her mother-in-law's. Chichi was expecting her and was waiting outside.
"You be careful." Chichi said as she took Eliha from Eyea. Eyea nodded and took to the air.

Back at Kame's lookout…
"You may have defeated me twice earthlings…but you won't do it again." Garlic Jr. was pissed at their arrival. His minions were fighting them, but they were no match for the Z Senshi. They were slowly falling one by one. But before Garlic Jr. could get a sneak attack in someone flew past him and cut his face with a sharp dagger.
"Whoever did that will pay!" he yelled. The figure who had attacked him was kneeling in font of him, they threw the dagger to one side.
"I do not need a weapon to defeat you…" the figure said.
"You do no know who you are dealing with!" he shot a ki beam at the figure. From what it looked like he hit her. When the smoke cleared the figure was gone.
"Hmph. Not so strong. I got him with just one shot." he taunted. Then he saw the shadow.
"What makes you think I'm a guy? Or can't you admit that you will be defeated by a mere woman?" Eyea said from above him. She lowered herself to the ground right in front of him.
"A woman…a cute one too. I will make an example of you." He charged forward. Eyea moved to the side, but Garlic Jr. anticipated this and moved too and kicked her into a far wall.
"Damn you're fast for such a little guy."
"I AM NOT LITTLE!" he yelled as he fired a ki blast at Eyea. Eyea crossed her arms in an 'X' and sent the blast back towards Garlic Jr.
"You are strong for a human," he mocked.
"DON'T EVER CALL ME A HUMAN!!!!!" she yelled at him. She was proud of her Saiyan heritage. Garlic Jr. matched her hit for hit, until she knocked him into a wall
